Activities at Paternoster House Care Home
Our specialist activities staff are committed to organising a mix of activities and events for residents and the local community to get involved in, including trips out to local places of interest in our minibus and visits from entertainers and musicians. It is important to us that each individual who we support can get as much from these as possible, so we try our best to arrange activities that reflect their interests and capabilities as best as possible, and encourage them to participate in any way they can. We also encourage relatives to join with activities and events as often as they can.

Wedding Anniversary
Please join us to congratulate Barry and Shirley on their 57th wedding anniversary. Celebrating in style, spending an afternoon together. Both Barry and Shirley live at Paternoster so being able to enjoy each other’s company on such a special day was a day they both said that they will always remember.
Paternoster House Residents Attend Local Community Group
Paternoster House went along to the 3 Social & Warm Space 4U which is run on the last Friday of the month in the Waltham Abbey Baptist Church. It is a dementia cafe for those at all stages of dementia and memory loss and their loved ones and carers.
Everyone loved the sing-along and dance and we were naturally the first on the dance floor! It was then eyes down for a game of bingo and our lovely resident violet won a beautiful orchid. We also took part in the quiz and were very grateful for Diane’s knowledge of 60s music and films making us runners up in the end.
The residents greatly enjoyed being part of this social event and we will be back next month!
Budgies with Character!
This month’s treat for residents at Paternoster House from Performing Pets were some wonderfully friendly budgies. The beautifully colourful budgies were a massive hit with residents and what characters they all were. The experience was second to none with happiness and smiles all round and it was surprising how many residents had owned budgies over the years.
Popular Baking Club
Baking Club is very popular with our residents and even more so the tasting of hard work with a cuppa! It was lovely to hear how everyone had baked with their own children and grandchildren and as well as everyone’s childhood memories of licking the bowl clean of the cake mixture! The team went round the whole home so everyone could have the opportunity to stir the mix.
Visit to White Water Rafting Centre
Paternoster House residents had a lovely walk around at the Lee Valley White Water Centre. We were made so welcome chatting to the wonderful lady on reception as well as a lovely man in a kayak offering to take us for a dip! We admired their bravery on such a crisp January day, although cold the sun on our faces was so nice and great to get out in the fresh air. You never know we might venture in when it is warmer!
